League of Legends: The Legend Returns

Obsessing Over Details?

Chapter 43

Obsessing Over Details?

"Top lane is Lao Ni... For mid lane, Lao Mo shouldn't be a question, right?"

Diandong Zilibang mused.

The other members of Team Back nodded one after another. For this position, there was indeed no suspense about picking the strongest player in the domestic server. Especially in the recently concluded World Championship, Shuang Leng Mo He had pushed his physical limits to reach the "Super God Tier" realm, truly dominating the world's best.

"Transcending the God Tier..."

Lin Xiao sighed with emotion.

Qiao Xin Yu smiled and agreed. "Indeed. In that realm, Lao Mo is an invincible existence in the mid lane—yes, the word 'invincible' is actually quite fitting here."

Lin Xiao turned to Jiang Ran and patted his shoulder. "Don't learn his method of pushing physical limits, but that 'Super God Tier' realm should be your goal~"

Jiang Ran nodded earnestly, his heart filled with yearning.

Shuang Leng Mo He had already been an almost invincible figure in his eyes, and that peak "Super God Tier" performance had completely blown him away—

Flow, and even Njwolf—world-class mid laners enshrined in the "God Tier" pantheon—could only be suppressed and beaten when facing Shuang Leng Mo He's "Super God Tier."

Transcending God Tier...

Perhaps, one day, he might actually stand a chance of reaching such a realm?

...

"In recent seasons, only Lao Mo has reached this realm, right?" Diandong Zilibang shook his head. "'God Tier' is already considered the peak of what a pro player can achieve. That 'Super God Tier' is an extreme that transcends common sense. You can't reach it without going to extremes—it's fine to use it as motivation, but don't obsess over it too much..."

Lin Xiao smiled:

"But often, it's those who are stubborn and obsess over details who find it easier to surpass their own limits—"

Qiao Xin Yu also smiled. "Yes, Team No used to have someone like that~"

Diandong Zilibang was surprised. "Who? Who was it?"

Beside them, Jiang Ran also showed a curious look. Based on what he knew about Team No, he felt he knew which teammate the girl was referring to.

*Come to think of it, with such an aloof and proud personality, being stubborn and obsessive fits him perfectly...*

But Jiang Ran and Diandong Zilibang both guessed wrong.

"It's not him."

The girl smiled and shook her head, then gave the answer: "It's Number Five~"

"?" Diandong Zilibang was stunned, then looked incredulous. "He's obsessive? Doesn't seem like him..."

Lin Xiao grinned and replied, "That's just because you don't know him well enough." He paused, as if reminiscing. "Ah, that guy... back then, he actually..."

Diandong Zilibang, Jiang Ran, and Tu Dou all perked up their ears.

Yet, right at the climax, Lin Xiao stopped and abruptly changed the subject. "Oh, speaking of which, I wonder what Number Five is up to now. Let's not talk about him~"

Black lines appeared on Diandong Zilibang's face. "Hey, hey, is there anyone who leaves people hanging like you?"

...

However, seeing that Lin Xiao had no intention of continuing, Diandong Zilibang could only pull the topic back:

"Top lane is Lao Ni, Mid lane is Lao Mo, so the bot lane..."

He glanced at Lin Xiao and Qiao Xin Yu. "It's probably just the two of you."

As the duo that had once swept the entire Korean Challenger ladder, and who had even coached the bot lanes of top domestic teams like Jiutian and Fengye to help them improve, they were known as the strongest bot lane in the domestic server... and even the world. It was indeed only a certain someone and the young girl who were fully deserving of this title.

"Then that leaves the Jungler—"

Diandong Zilibang stroked his chin, then grinned. "For Jungle, I'll gladly take up the mantle~"

Jiang Ran gave a brief evaluation: "Thick-skinned."

Tu Dou nodded repeatedly in agreement. "Too shameless!"

The girl smiled and smoothed things over. "Actually, if we really had to choose, Zi Li Bang would do~"

Lin Xiao ruthlessly exposed the truth: "It's mainly because our server doesn't currently have a truly peerless, top-tier Jungler. The Junglers in the LPL are only on par with Hen Men Kun, barely at the threshold of 'Half-step God Tier'... So picking anyone is pretty much the same."

Diandong Zilibang rolled his eyes. "Of course I know that... Can't you not be so brutally honest..."

Top lane Jian Ren Ni Tian, Mid lane Shuang Leng Mo He, bot lane Lin Xiao on Support and Qiao Xin Yu on ADC, plus a standard first-tier domestic pro Jungler.

This was the strongest theoretical lineup the domestic server could field.

"However, even so—"

Lin Xiao paused, delivering a conclusion that caught everyone off guard:

"Against Njwolf, the best we could hope for is a draw... Yeah, at best a draw."

...

When interviewed by the official domestic League of Legends media, Shuang Leng Mo He gave the exact same answer as Lin Xiao when asked the same question.

"A draw?"

The beautiful female host in professional business attire was slightly taken aback, asking again to confirm:

"God Mo He, do you mean that even if our server gathers the strongest players in every position to form the ultimate lineup, we would only have a fifty percent win rate against Njwolf?"

Shuang Leng Mo He's face was calm, his voice as flat and wave-less as ever:

"Maybe even less than fifty percent."

The beautiful host pressed further, "But why is that? Are you saying that even if we mobilize the entire server's strength to form the strongest lineup, we still can't match a single Korean team?"

Shuang Leng Mo He shook his head. "You misunderstand."

He thought for a moment, then gave a brief explanation:

"In terms of individual skill, this theoretical dream lineup might be a tier above Njwolf."

"But a match isn't won by individual performance alone; the key lies in team coordination."

"Five people with zero experience playing together, no matter how strong their individual skills are, can never match the synergy and coordination of a team like Njwolf—even top-tier professional players can't bypass that."

The explanation was concise and clear, making it instantly understandable.

The beautiful host understood, feeling a bit regretful. "So in reality, our server currently has no effective way to counter Korea's strongest team... Alright, God Mo He, one last question—"

Shuang Leng Mo He frowned slightly, gesturing for her to ask.

The beautiful host flashed a sly, triumphant smile and quickly asked, "Just now we discussed the dream lineup of our server. The top lane is undoubtedly Fengye Maple's Jian Ren Ni Tian, and the mid lane is you, God Mo He. What about the Jungle and bot lane? Who would you choose?"
